Bolling is no stranger to CAB-VI or performing at the race. Thevisually-impaired teen partici-pates in music therapy at the cen-ter and will sound off the race forthe third time.

“I get a little bit of stage frightbut I have a little less nerves be-cause I’ve done it before,” Boll-ing said.

Bolling said she was influ-enced by her time at CABVI as aparticipant and a volunteer. Shewill attend the University of Day-

ton in the fall to study music ther-apy.

“It’s important for people torealize that visual impairment orblindness doesn’t hold anyoneback in any particular way,”Kathy Gottschlich, CABVI direc-tor of devlopment and communi-ty relations, said. “Abby has agorgeous voice and we love tohave clients participate by sing-ing the national anthem.”

After Bolling sings her lastnote, she too will join the walk.

Last year, she won a trophy forcompleting the race in the fastesttime for her age range.

Also taking strides will be aclient who is in Bolling’s musictherapy group.

Cassandra Proud, 17, DelhiTownship, will lace up her sneak-ers and walk in the 5K with herfriends.

Voters in the FinneytownLocal School District willvote on a bond issue on theNov. 6 ballot.

The Finneytown board ofeducation on July 23 ap-proved putting a 15-year 1.98mill levy on the ballot to raise$4.7 million for new con-struction, improvements,

renovationsand additionsto school facil-ities and toprovide fur-nishing, equip-ment for theimprove-ments.

Accordingto the annual

certification from county au-ditor Dusty Rhodes, the year-ly cost of the bond issue foran owner of a $100,000 homeis $58.77. The purpose of the15-year levy is to addresscapital projects.

“Our big-ticket items areroofs, security and paving.Also we’ll be doing some inte-rior retrofitting of class-rooms and updating win-dows, seats, lighting and anew roof in the PerformingArts Center,” board Presi-dent Laura Horn said.

Horn said that after creat-ing an improvement fore-cast, the board discussed aplan to tackle any capitalprojects in the next sixyears. After identifying thenecessary upgrades and thecost, the board began work topresent a bond issue to thetaxpayers.

David Oliverio, districttreasurer, said that the $4.7million necessary to com-plete the projects was be-yond the realm of the current

permanent improvementlevy that had an ending cashbalance of $2.3 million for2011-12.

“There are projects thatcan’t be ignored,” Oliveriosaid, adding that many class-rooms in the school districthave trash cans placed tocatch the rain leaking fromthe roof. “If the bond issuedoesn’t pass we will have totake money from the operat-ing levy.”

The operating levy’s pri-mary purpose is to operatethe school and educationalprograms, the treasurersaid, and with its cash flowshould last three more years.

“We don’t want to compro-mise the purpose of the oper-ating levy,” Oliverio said.

Horn said that whatmakes a bond issue more ef-fective than a permanent im-provement levy is the factthat school district will getall the money once the issueis passed rather than in in-crements over several years.

“It will allow us to do ev-erything up front,” Hornsaid.

Oliverio added that if thebond issue passes, construc-tion could begin within sixmonths of receiving thefunds.

“Our hope is that peoplewill see this as a benefit andthat they will support thebond issue in order to helpimprove the buildings,”Horn said.

As it celebrates its 11th

year, Smooth Jazz in thePark continues to be a greatevent for the whole family.

The music will be 6 to 11p.m. Saturday, Aug. 4, atCentral Park, at the cornerof Winton and Kemperroads behind the ForestPark city administrationbuilding.

As in past years, the freeconcert allows attendees toset up small tents and bringrefreshments, althoughgrills and alcohol are notwelcome.

“It’s a family event,”Forest Park Human Re-sources Director TyeSmith said. “People comeearly in the morning tostake out their spots and setup their tents.”

The headliner for theconcert is SoundFuzion.Also performing will be theHank Stephens Experienceand Blue Wisp’s Young Li-ons. Performing betweenacts will be DJ Perry Sim-mons who will incorporate

jazz sounds with his mixingstyle along with Ellis Wil-liams, a saxophonist forthree years, and a seventhgrader from Winton HillsSchool.

Smith said the event isproduced by Project Ar-tReach. Forest Park is asponsor for the event.

The event plans a lot forkids centered around mu-sic and art. There’s a KidzArt of Jazz tent for childrenage 5 to 12 to work on pro-jects. The Project Ar-tReach website says thetent is designed to bring outthe imaginative and cre-ative talents of children asthey are introduced to jazzmusic.

Past projects include apaint by numbers muraland mosaic benches. Twoof the benches sit outsidethe senior center.

“It’s a real communityarts project,” Smith said.“The kids have a lot of funand their parents enjoy thefestival, too.”

Forest Park City Coun-cil is taking another lookat a program that can saveresidents money on theirgas and electric bills.

Council voted unani-mously to put electric andnatural gas aggregationon the ballot this fall at itsmeeting Monday night,July 16. Voters rejectedthe programs in 2010.

There are two ballot is-sues – one for natural gasaggregation, the other forelectric aggregation.

Aggregation programsallow a group of custom-ers to join together toform a large group thatbuys energy for its mem-bers. A large buyinggroup may be able to get abetter price for the groupmembers than a residentcan get on his own.

Ohio law allows com-

munitiessuch astownshipsand citiesto form ag-gregationbuyinggroups. Of-ficials ne-gotiate and

contract with an outsidesupplier for all of the cus-tomer-members in itsgroup. Aggregations canbe formed to buy naturalgas, electricity or both.

Under aggregationprograms, it is only thegenerator of the powerthat is up for change.Duke Energy continues tobe the local utility compa-ny responsible for provid-ing maintenance, custom-er service, and billing forthe transmission and dis-tribution of the custom-er’s natural gas and elec-tric power.

To take advantage of

aggregation, voters mustpass the ballot issues.Since 2001, a dozen com-munities in HamiltonCounty have voted on ag-gregation measures. For-est Park is the only com-munity in the county inwhich voters said no. Inthat election, 54 percentof the voters voted no and46 percent of them were infavor of the program.

Some council memberssay they think voters wereconfused in 2010 anddidn’t really understandthe issue.

Mayor Chuck Johnsonsaid the city has two jobsnow: educate voters anddo some surveying to seehow much people under-stand about aggregationand whether the commu-nity will support the ballotissues.

Councilman DavidLives said he believestherewasa lotofmisinfor-

mation circulating duringthe last attempt. Council-man Wyndell Burns saidthe city will have to do agood job of explaining theprogram in layman’sterms and should antici-pate and answer questionsresidents are likely to ask.

“I am totally in favor ofthis,” Burns said. “It’s im-portant to make sure ourour residents have a clearunderstanding of the pro-gram. It will directly af-fect possible savings onthe cost of their naturalgas and electric bills.”

Community and Eco-nomic Development Di-rector Chris Andersonsaid the city will post in-formation about aggrega-tion on the city’s websiteat www.forestpark.org.

“The city administra-tion and council were neu-tral the last time,” he said.“This is something weshould be advocating.”

Northminster Presby-terian Church in Finney-town has focused on be-ing a missional churchfor a number of years. Aspart of its focus on mis-sion, CONNECT waslaunched in 2008 as a wayto get members andfriends of Northminsterout in the community todo a variety of serviceprojects in a single day.

The fifth annual CON-NECT Day being held 8a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday,Aug. 11, provides an op-portunity for Northmin-ster members to get in-volved in mission andoutreach.

As a part of the com-munities that make up thenorthern hills, this is oneway that Northminstertakes its missional phi-

losophy to the streets.“We are called to

serve,” says Jeff Hosm-er, senior pastor and headof staff at Northminster,“and CONNECT has be-come a wonderful wayfor our church to do that.”

The goal of CONNECTis to get a large number ofNorthminster membersto experience a one-dayhands-on service workday working in the com-munity to share the loveof Christ with people whomay never feel comfort-able going into a church.

“It is gratifying to seeso many people come to-gether and help in somany ways,” adds Hosm-er.

Interested volunteersmay contact the churchoffice at 931-0243.

his second season as Wildcatshead coach with a goal ofgetting his team out of theCincinnati Hills League cel-lar, where it finished 2011.

Senior Matt Sawyer willgo a long way to making thathappen. He spent his fresh-man season at Finneytownbefore transferring to Mt.Healthy as a sophomore andsitting out last season whenhe transferred back.

“I think he can be one ofthe top three players in the(Cincinnati Hills League),”Lennon said. “He’s reallygood.”

Sawyer will have somehelp from junior David Evansin the second position, whilethe junior trio of MarcDeitsch, Austin Leigh andSam Wolfrest also will addexperience.

Senior Mathew Wetterichand sophomore Dan Wetter-ich – who in May were namedMidwest players of the yearin their respective 16-to-19and 14-and-15-year-old divi-sions in the Golf Week JuniorTour – should go a long wayto making that an achievablegoal.

As usual, the best competi-tion will come close to homein the Greater CatholicLeague South, where last all

four teams reached the dis-trict tourney and both Moell-er and St. Xavier were top 10finishers at state.

“The GCL is always sogood in golf, but this is a teamI feel can compete,” Feld-kamp said. “I hope to win it,but you never know. I think(winning the GCL) is anachievable goal, which Iwouldn’t have told you inanother year.”

Do what is rightShortly after President Oba-

ma was elected, Sen. (Mitch)McConnell and Rep. (John)Boehner, among others, declaredthat “We must stop Obama at allcost.”

It is becoming clear that theirat all cost included even if wemust destroy the country in theprocess, so be it, but stop him. Wemust. This opinion is confirmedwhen I see how President Obamahas been vilified, demagoguedand insulted by the likes of peopleassociated with the Tea Party, forexample, among others.

It is beyond disgusting. Butwhat is so amazing is the silenceof the majority in America. WhileI cannot overlook the heroic andethical behavior and statesman-ship of John McCain, his braveryputs him in the minority. If I wereto honestly in one sentence saywhat the problem is I would be ac-cused of racism. So I won’t say it.But the truly civil intelligent peo-ple of solid character in this na-tion who are willing to acknowl-edge it know what it is. What dis-turbs me the most is the dangerthat our nation is facing. Thereare those who for selfish, bias androoted feelings of superiority areif allowed in their attempts to de-stroy this president are willing to

risk the total destruction ofAmerica.

It is my fervent prayer thatthe good men and omen of thisgreat nation are silent waiting forNov. 6 to do what is right and cor-rect to keep American the Beauti-ful.

Think back to when youwere a child. Did you love torun and play? Ride your bike?Go for a swim? Shoot hoopswith your friends or practiceyour free throws? Maybe justread a book? Or lie on the grasslooking at the sky?

Did you feel it essential thatyour parents watch you dothose things?

Here at Housing Opportuni-ties Made Equal we have beenreceiving increased com-plaints regarding discrimi-nation against families withchildren at apartments andcondominiums. Among thosehave been references to rulesand regulations that apply onlyto children, including an espe-cially troubling one requiringthat all children under 18 besupervised by an adult at alltimes.

Rules like this one are adirect violation of the federalFair Housing Act, and theyhave been since the 1980s whenPresident Ronald Reagan add-ed protection for familial sta-tus to fair housing laws.

This specif-ic protectioncovers preg-nant women aswell as allmembers ofthe householdwho are 17 andyounger. Andit applies to allhousing exceptthat which hasattained spe-cific desig-

nation as “senior housing.”The most obvious indica-

tions of illegal discriminationagainst children are thoseowners or managers who re-fuse to rent to families withchildren. Some even go so faras to state “No Children” or“Adults Only” in their ads.

Some less obvious – but justas discriminatory – behaviorincludes:

» inquiring about a preg-nancy or about child care ar-rangements;

» requiring families to liveonly in certain buildings, incertain sections, or on certain

floors;» refusing to rent because

of perceived risks (lead paint,steep steps, nearby traintracks, etc ...);

» charging extra fees, addi-tional deposits, or higher rentsfor families with children.

While rules and regulationsare expected in housing com-plexes, they cannot single outchildren just because they arechildren. And, of course, man-agement can charge for dam-age to their property whetherdone by a child or an adult.

“Things are going extremelywell at Jewish Family Service.We continue to touch lives inways that other Jewish agenciescannot. And we continue to im-prove every month and everyday,” said Michael Schwartz,president of the board at the Jew-ish Family Service 68th annualmeeting July19 at Rockdale Tem-ple Chapel in Amberley Village.

“My life philosophy is allabout improvement. No matterhow big or small the improve-ment, just keep getting better,”he said. Schwartz then pointed toseveral ways Jewish Family Ser-vice has improved over the pastyear. These included revenuesbeing up 19 percent, the expan-sion of programs to help morepeople in our community, the in-creased involvement of boardmembers and management notaccepting the status quo to push

the agency to improve.Executive Director Beth

Schwartz focused on JewishFamily Service being the “doing”organization in the community,and having an approachable, se-rious and caring staff to do thenecessary work.

She said, “We are approach-

able. We can do what we do be-cause our clients know we are tol-erant of all situations. By beingapproachable, anyone can feelcomfortable asking for our per-sonal and professional guidancethrough life’s challenges.

“We are serious. We are seri-ous about what we do. And wedeal with serious issues includ-ing homelessness, infertility, do-mestic violence, unplanned preg-nancy, hunger, elder victimiza-tion, successful parenting, men-toring, bullying, chronic illness,caregiving and mental illness.

“We are caring. We care aboutwhat we do. We care about theforgotten, the challenged, thedisconnected, the alone. We careabout results and using measur-able or trackable metrics toprove how we exceeded our tar-gets to strengthen our communi-ty.

“Our staff is not afraid to rollup our sleeves and do whatever ittakes to make sure one day ourcommunity will benefit from theJewish Family Service vision ofleading the way to a Jewish com-munity where everyone liveswith dignity, security and hope.”

She also praised the superbleadership of the board of direc-tors and thanked them for beingpart of the “doing.”

Following a nominating re-port by Andrea Lerner Levenson,the new board of directors wasinstalled. The 2012-2013 officersof the board are MichaelSchwartz, president; Andrea Ler-ner Levenson, vice president;Mark Miller, vice president; Lar-ry Juran, treasurer; Susan Shorr,secretary, and Bruce Baker, im-mediate past president.

Daniel Kerbel, Daniel Phillipsand Stephen Goldberg were in-

stalled as new board members toserve a three-year term. GailFriedman retired from theboard.

Board members continuingtheir term on the board are SuzyMarcus Goldberg, Steve Hol-man, Elaine Kaplan, Danny Lip-son, Leslie Miller, Pam Sacher-man, Lauren Scharf, Scott Slovin,Gary Smith, Max Yamson, JohnYoukilis and Sarita Zilch.

Bruce Baker received theMiriam Dettlebach Award. Thisaward is given in honor of thefirst executive director of Jew-ish Family Service as recognitionof exceptional volunteer serviceto the agency. Bruce, who servedas president of the board from2008-2010, thanked the vibrantboard members and professionalstaff that “makes you want to riseto another level to become a bet-ter volunteer and lay leader.”

Jewish Family Service hosts annual meeting

Mark Miller of Forest Park andAndrea Lerner Levenson ofAmberley Village were installedas vice presidents of JewishFamily Services. PROVIDED

Steve Kleeman, M.D., ofMonfort Heights hastraveled widely, withseveral recent trips to

Honduras to perform gyneco-logic surgeries for underservedwomen.

But his recent trip to Haiticompletely humbled him.

The people of Gros-Morne inHaiti were the poorest he’s everseen. It’s a country without aninfrastructure in an area denud-ed of trees. It lacks roads, po-lice, electricity and adequatemedical care. And even thoughHaiti is a Caribbean island, andGros-Morne is about 30 milesfrom the sea, the majority ofpeople eat goat, rice and beansbecause there are no roads totransport, nor electricity torefrigerate fish.

Kleeman, director of theurogynecology division at GoodSamaritan Hospital, with of-fices in Clifton and West Ches-ter, spent April 21- 28 along withurogynecology fellow and sur-geon Catrina Crisp and volun-teers at Light of the WorldCharity providing general gy-necology and pelvic prolapsesurgery for women.

Kleeman and Crisp delivereda baby via C-section for a wom-an who had been laboring for acouple of days. They also per-formed basic general surgery,but had to stop each day bymid-afternoon.

Not because there wasn’tneed, but because generator-provided electricity was unreli-able.

Conditions were primitive:the only operating room lightswere ones provided by head-lamps they wore. Hot water wasnon-existent, and there was noair conditioning despite 95-degree temperatures and 90percent humidity. Surgeons

were made even hotter by bar-rier-proof surgical gowns; itwas so hot Kleeman cut off hissurgical pants at the knees.Doctors and nurses went homein the evenings, so hospitalpatients were left alone at nightto be cared for by family mem-bers.

“These kinds of trips arealways worthwhile,” he said.“There is the obvious joy onegets when giving to those with amedical need, but those peoplewhom we consider poor have atremendous outlook on life andcan teach us in the first worldmany things, like the impor-tance of a genuine smile, a kindgesture, sharing what you havewith others despite your ownneeds – or being prayed for.Watching a loved one sit with apatient and tend to their needswhen nothing else can be doneis humbling. These simple actsare more powerful than anyamount of money or goods thatwe can bring.”

The Haitian system is prettybroken, Kleeman said. “Actu-ally, there is no system at all.There is no form of govern-ment, no paved roads, and in theAlma Mater Hospital, where wewere, patients pay a fee, pick anumber, and wait in order to beevaluated. The hospital provid-ed basic care: pediatrics, ma-ternity, radiology, two oper-ating rooms and a choleraward.”

Cholera is considered bymany to be a 19th century dis-ease, but it’s prevalent in thirdworld countries today. It’scaused by eating food or drink-ing water contaminated by thefeces of an infected person.And while cholera can be treat-ed fairly quickly in first-worldcountries by rehydration, inthird world countries people die

of it rather quickly.People in Haiti use the rivers

to clean themselves and fordrinking water. It was not un-usual to see children and adultsbathing naked in the river, saidKleeman.

Gros-Morne is a 4.5 hour busride north from Port au Prince.Kleeman said roads were pavedfor half the way, and the rest ofthe way they bumped over dirtroads and drove through

creeks.It was the fourth annual

humanitarian surgical tripKleeman has taken, his thirdwith Light of the World Char-ities of Palm City, Florida. GoodSamaritan Hospital donatedequipment, sutures and trays ofinstruments.

The group stayed in a safehouse next door to the hospital.Because of the extreme povertyand lack of any governmental

organization, such as police, itwas unsafe to be outside atnight. The safe house was sur-rounded by a concrete wall andbarbed wire, and had an irongated entrance. “They did haverunning water in the house andwe could run a fan or light inthe evening,” he said. If thedoctors hadn’t come, he said,most people would just do with-out.

“It’s not unusual to see peo-ple with different maladieswalking down the street or withgoiters,” he said. “There is littlemedical treatment available,and most people have basicneeds like food, water andclothing.”

Each morning, Kleeman, aparishioner of St. Ignatius Loy-ola Catholic Church in MonfortHeights, attended 6:30 a.m.mass. He noticed that althoughHaitians were very poor, peopledressed up and presented them-selves well, with women wear-ing their best dresses and menin their nicest slacks and shirts.But much of their clothing wasold and worn. Kleeman wasmoved to give away all hisclothing except what he waswearing to the housekeeper andsome patients before he re-turned home.

One heartbreaking incidentpointed up the real tragedy ofpoor medical care in Haiti. Awoman about six months preg-nant having seizures was car-ried into the hospital on a bedsheet by her family. She wasgiven an IV. Kleeman diagnosedher with severe eclampsia, acondition in pregnancy relatedto hypertension that can affectabout 10 percent of women.

“Unfortunately, we thoughtshe was being prepared fordelivery, but nothing was donefor her for an entire day. Shewas eventually transferred inthe back of a pickup truck for a30-mile ride to another hospi-tal,” he said, his voice breakingwith emotion. “It was heart-breaking to see her two chil-dren and extended family cry-ing all around her.”

Kleeman wanted to movetoward delivery, but the localdoctor in charge suggested shebe transferred to another hospi-tal because they had a pediatri-cian. “The baby would havedied, but mother might havelived,” he said, “and it botheredme to no end. I kept thinkingabout her in the back of thatpickup truck going over thoseroads. I don’t think she madeit.” Because of the lack of or-ganization and communicationin Haiti, he was never able tofind out whether or not shesurvived. He said he still thinksof that woman.

I wanted to sharesome good news: Ournewest grandchild, littleEmerson Shane Heiken-feld, was born last weekto son Shane and daugh-ter-in-law Courtney. Sheis, of course, beautifulwith dark hair and isalready fashionably

dressed byher grand-ma Terri,who isCourtney’smom. Ican’t waitto take heron a strollthroughthe herbgarden!

Thecucumbers are startingto bear, so I will haveplenty to make pickles.From the requests I’mgetting, it looks like a lotof you want to make pick-les, too.

Traditionalbread-and-butterpickles

For Loveland readerJoan Manzo, who wantedto learn how to make anold-fashioned bread-and-butter pickle.

4 pounds cucumbers, cut

into ¼-inch slices,unpeeled

2 pounds onions, thinlysliced

1⁄3 cup canning salt2 cups sugar2 tablespoons mustard seed2 teaspoons turmeric2 teaspoons celery seed1 teaspoon ginger1 teaspoon peppercorns3 cups vinegar, clear or cider

Combine cucumberand onions and layer withsalt, cover with ice cubesand let stand 1½ hours.Drain, rinse, drain again.Combine remaining in-gredients in pan andbring to boil. Add cucum-bers and onions and re-turn to a boil. Pack hotpickles and liquid intohot jars, leaving ¼-inchheadspace. Remove airbubbles. Adjust two-piece caps if using can-ning jars. Let cool toroom temperature beforerefrigerating. You don’tneed to process these ifyou are storing in therefrigerator, but if youare going to store them inthe pantry, it’s a goodidea to do that by proc-essing 10 minutes in aboiling water bath.

Quick-and-easywashtub pickles

For Marilyn and Law-rence. Donna Woods sentthis recipe to me lastyear and it continues tobe a much-requested oneduring cucumber season.She told me: “It has beena family favorite for over30 years. I have manyfond memories makingthis with my dad. Wewould mix it in a laundrytub.”

Donna said when youmix the ingredients to-gether, it will look a bitdry at first, but as it sits

the juices will come out.They remind me a littleof bread-and-butter pick-les, minus the turmeric.These are delicious withdeli meat sandwiches.Donna’s original recipecalled for a jar of drainedpimentos, but I used redbell peppers and I alsosliced the carrots insteadof chopping them. I’vealso substituted cider forclear vinegar. These arethe only adaptations Imade – no need to im-prove on perfection!

Pickles:Mix together:

3 quarts thinly slicedcucumbers

2 cups thinly sliced greenpeppers

2 cups thinly sliced onions2 cups thinly sliced carrots2 red bell peppers, chopped

(optional)

Brine:Mix together:

2 tablespoons celery seed3 cups sugar1⁄3 cup salt2 cups clear or cider vinegar

Pour brine over veg-gies. Let sit several hourson counter, stirring everyonce in a while. Store inrefrigerator.

Tips from Rita’skitchen

Sweet potatoes forbaby: When choosingsweet potatoes for yourbaby, look for ones thatare firm, with no bruisesor cracks. Medium sizedones tend to have the besttexture – large ones cansometimes be stringy.Don’t store your sweetpotatoes in the refriger-ator. I think it ruins theirflavor and can makethem tough. Instead,keep them in a cool, darkplace.

Removing corn from

cob: Put the corn in thecenter hole of a Bundt orangel food pan. This an-chors the corn so you canscrape the kernels offeasily, and the kernelsdrop right into the pan.

Can you help?Soy sauce sub for

Ellen S. from WesternHills. “My sons are bothallergic to soy and somany recipes call for soysauce – including thatdelicious sounding beefpot roast with garlic andginger.”

Dewey’s Pizza Greeksalad dressing for Ange-la L. “I am interested inreplicating Dewey’sGreek salad dressing. Doyou have any ideas? It isa red, I think sun-driedtomato base.”

Record low mortgagerates are promptingmore people to enter thehousing market – oftenfirst-time home owners.

We allknow it’simportantto get ahouse in-spectedbefore youbuy, but becareful.Not allinspec-tions arealike and

you could end up with anightmare.

Christina Howardsays she feels the Fair-field house she and herhusband bought earlierthis year is turning into amoney pit. “Where wefirst noticed problemswas in the utility roomwhen you run the dish-washer … The dishwash-er was leaking a continu-ous leak. When youturned it on, it got worseand that’s how we saw ita week after moving in,”Howard says.

All that water hascreated major problemsin the house. “The wholebottom of the cabinetsrotted out. A contractorsaid it would cost moremoney to rebuild if wetake off just the bottom.It would cost more mon-ey to rebuild them thanto just buy new ones,”Howard says.

Repairs are estimatedto cost thousands of dol-lars, money the Howardscan’t afford, so they’vebegun the clean-up them-selves and found a lot ofmold. “Mold is on theinside of a wall so youcan’t merely bleach allthat. It’s three walls, thewhole kitchen floor, thewhole dining room floor,and we spent the lastthree weeks doing demo-lition,” Howard says.

The Howards 16-year-

old son has a room rightnext to the kitchen andhe was so allergic to themold his eyes swelledshut. He had to leave thehouse for weeks whilethe mold remediationwas done. “Everybody’spointing fingers but no-body wants to take re-sponsibility for it,” How-ard says.

But what about thatwhole house inspectionthey got before buying?Howard says they calledthe inspection companybut it won’t call themback. I checked the in-spection company’s bro-chure and found it doesnot display the symbol ofthe American Society ofHome Inspectors. I al-ways recommend youhire an ASHI-certifiedhome inspector – espe-cially in Ohio, where nolicense is required, soanybody can call them-selves a home inspector.ASHI certificationmeans the inspector hasa certain amount of expe-rience and must pass aseries of tests.

Another problem isthat the Howards got thename of the home in-spector from their realestate agent. That’s notrecommended becausethere’s a conflict of in-terest. The inspector canfeel obligated not to re-veal problems so the salegoes through and theinspector gets more re-ferrals from that agent inthe future.

No home inspector isgoing to guarantee theywon’t miss something,but you’re better offusing an ASHI-certifiedhome inspector you pickyourself.

Take care whengetting a homeinspection
